On a rainy and overcast Monday, runners toed the starting line of a Boston Marathon with unique significance. Drawing the world's best distance runners and para-athletes for the 127th time, this year marks the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombing.
Recreational runners, some of them for the first time, trained for the tough 26.2-mile course in honor of the three people that were killed and hundreds that were injured.
Pulling away during the last mile, Chebet beat Benson Kipruto and Tanzania's Gabriel Geay to become the first back-to-back Boston Marathon champion in 15 years.
